Falling for you...Challenge #57 CWC

Hello crafty friends!!

Oh my is this a busy part of the year..and it's not even Christmas!! LOL  I know I haven't posted, but I have SO many projects almost completed...I am gonna blow my blog up as soon as they're done!! hahaha  okay, okay, onto my post today.  Over at Cooking with Cricut we were challenged to make a card or lay out with scarecrows, hays, and or crows...of course following a sketch.  Let me just say, we have some talented ladies!!

I made TWO cards.  I had so much fun with this!

The first card I made for my dear sister to give to her husband who is currently serving in Afghanistan.

Isn't he ADORABLE??!!  This card was made using the scarecrow digi stamp from PWC-Paper Crafting World, the pumpkin was cut from PDDU and embossed with swiss dots.  I cut two of these and used the middle section of one to "pop" out the center for dimension.  The leaves were cut using Create A Critter.  The stamp is a $1 studio G stamp from WM...SO cute!!  Paper is from Mariposa and Colorbok.  I inked the edges with Chestnut chalk and ran it over the embossing.  I also embossed the sentiment with a clear embossing pearl lustre.  I think it came out so cute.

My next card is for my mom.  I wanted to brighten her day! :)

I used the Simply Charmed cart for all of the cuts.  I used PKS everyday faces for the pumkins and words.  I used Stickles for the leaves and vines of the pumpkins and some ribbon from my stash.  The paper is the harvest stack from DCWV.

Isn't he cute?!  I cut him out using my gypsy. (actually all of my card was designed on my gypsy)  I cut his hands and feet off.  I used rafia (painstakingly...lol) for his hands, feet, and hair.  I added brads for his "buttons".  I think this will make my mom happy!!

Now go on over and check out what the other talented design team ladies have created.  It will surely get your creativity flowing!  Don't forget to link up your project with us!

Happy crafting!
